What icon should be the GPWA favicon? We want to thank everyone who proposed icons for consideration as the GPWA favicon over the past week. Because we have so many possibilities to consider, the voting will be done a little differently than usual. vBulletin polls simply do not support as many choices as we have to consider. And, with so many choices, it makes sense to ask folks for their first, second, third and additional choices. You can vote for as many as you want. Just be sure to list them in the order of your preference. Happy voting! View poll
